THINKING IN TRANSLATION - ORR SCHARF GEBUNDEN

Thinking in Translation posits the Hebrew Bible as the fulcrum of the thought of Franz
Rosenzweig (1886-1929)  underpinning a unique synthesis between systematic thinking and
biblical interpretation. Addressing a lacuna in Rosenzweig scholarship  the book offers a
critical evaluation of his engagement with the Bible through a comparative study of The Star of
Redemption and his Bible translation with Martin Buber. The book opens with Rosenzweig's
rejection of German Idealism and fascination with the sources of Judaism. It then analyzes the
unique hermeneutic approach he developed to philosophy and scripture as a symbiosis of critique
and cross-fertilization  facilitated by translation. An analysis of the Star exposes
Rosenzweig's employment of translation in grafting biblical verses unto the philosophical
discussion. It is followed by a reading that demonstrates how his Bible translation reflects an
attempt to re-valorize the Tanakh as a distinctively Jewish scripture  over and against
Christian appropriations. Thinking in Translation recasts Rosenzweig's life's work as a project
of melding Judaism and modernity in an attempt to secure their spiritual and intellectual
survival.
